LCMS TECHNOLOGY AND ITS USES - The present invention relates to an improved LCMS technology and its uses in methods for the selective identification and characterization of immunogenic pathogen associated epitopes, and the use thereof in vaccine development. One way of bridging the knowledge gap on T cell epitopes is to apply a new platform technology, “immunoproteomics”, to directly assess the epitope display at the surface of antigen presenting cells by nanoscale mass spectrometry of extracted peptide samples. This is the only methodology that can provide unbiased insight into epitope features such as the exact molecular nature, diversity, abundance, dynamics and PTM of T cell epitopes originating from pathogen-derived proteins. Therefore, this platform technology and immunoproteomics should become an intrinsic part of vaccinology.

POLYPEPTIDES WITH PERMEASE ACTIVITY - The invention relates to a polypeptide having a mutation at one or more position corresponding to T219 of SEQ ID NO: 55, wherein the polypeptide has at least 50% sequence identity with SEQ ID NO: 55, and wherein the polypeptide has permease activity.

Method of Preparing a Porphyrin Derivative, a Porphyrin Derivative, Use of Said Porphyrin derivative and a pharmaceutical composition containing said porphyrin derivative - The present invention relates to a method of preparing a porphyrin derivative from a meso-acrylonitrile-substituted porphyrin compound. According to the invention a Vilsmeier reagent carrying an aromatic ring is used, wherein said Vilsmeier reagent is a soft electrophile. The use of this Vilsmeier reagent results in a porphyrin derivative having the ring system of the Vilsmeier reagent condensed to its porphyrin macrocycle via two new 6 membered rings. Thus a new class of porphyrin derivatives is provided, wherein said derivatives are photodynamically more active than the starting compound. The invention also relates to a porphyrin derivative, use of said porphyrin derivative and a pharmaceutical composition containing said porphyrin derivative.

STEREOCOMPLEX HYDROGELS - The invention relates to hydrogel compositions, which can be applied as biodegradable materials and to the processes to prepare such hydrogels. The hydrogel of the present invention comprises a stereocomplex gel structure which is the result of the interaction of oligomerized monomers of one chirality with that of oligomerized monomers of the opposite chirality, both grafted to hydrophilic polymers. The grafts form an interaction which is different from a covalent chemical interaction and thus provide the gel with the required coherence.
